Introduction to the hanging coffin: The hanging coffin in Xiaofeng dates back more than 2,300 years. It is one of the most typical burial customs among many ethnic minorities in ancient times. It provides strong historical evidence for people today to investigate the origin of the Ba people. The hanging coffin is suspended in a cliff cave 175 meters above the ground and 180 meters from the top of the mountain. How the ancients hoisted and placed it is a mystery through the ages. In addition to its unique archaeological value, the Hanging Coffin Scenic Area is also the largest outdoor training base and self-driving camp service center in the Three Gorges region.
